CM '96 - Preliminary Program

[Eric Heymann]

First European Workshop on Cognitive Modeling
in conjunction with EuroSoar-10

14.-16.November 1996, Berlin University of Technology

Preliminary Program *** PLEASE DISTRIBUTE

We are happy to inform you that the preliminary program for the
First European Workshop on Cognitive Modeling is complete.
The program looks very promising: the contributions cover a variety
of interesting topics (from classification to creativity) and a
variety of modelling methods (statistics, logic, production systems,
connectionist approaches).

If you are interested in participation, please refer to the workshop
